This t-shirt is black and features the Apple Distinguished Educator logotype in the top-right front of the shirt. The words are printed in white in the San Francisco font, Apple’s official corporate font since 2017.
The shirt was made by BELLA+CANVAS, a “premium basics” apparel company based in Los Angeles.
Several Apple Distinguished Educators (ADEs) wore these shirts when presenting at the IDEAcon (Illinois Digital Educators Alliance) education conference in Schaumburg, IL, in February 2025. We presented several sessions regarding Apple’s many Accessibility features used in schools.
This Apple Teacher sticker features the Apple Teacher logotype (in a Medium weight of Apple’s San Francisco corporate font) printed on a multicolor gradient background. The colors in the gradient range from blur, violet, red, orange, yellow, green, to teal. The text is white and a white QR code is included. The center of the QR code displays a gold outline star icon on a white circle. The star icon is the “badge” earned by educators for each category of the Apple Teacher program they complete successfully. The QR code leads to https://education.apple.com.
According to Apple’s website:
“Apple Teacher is a free professional learning program designed to support and celebrate educators using Apple products for teaching and learning. As an educator you can build skills on iPad and Mac that directly apply to activities with your students, earn recognition for the new things you learn, and be rewarded for the great work you do every day.”
The sticker measures 4 inches wide, 1 5/8 inches tall, and features rounded corners. The peel-off back paper is white.
These pens were made of metal with a black satin finish. They retracted by twisting the barrel. Near the clip, they featured an Apple logo and the words Education Community in metallic gold. The logotype was printed in Apple’s San Francisco corporate font, used since 2015.
The end of the pen featured a black stylus tip that can be used to tap or write on a touchscreen such as an iPad or iPhone.
The weight of the pen conveyed a feeling of quality, and it measured approximately 5.75 inches long.
This vinyl sticker is custom-die cut in the shape of a cartoon-syle “thought bubble” printed with the words Apple Education Community. The text is printed in three colors (orange, blue, and violet).

The design also includes hand-drawn stylized versions of various icons used on the Apple Education site and a QR code. When scanned, the QR code leads to the URL education.apple.com.
These stickers were available at educational technology conferences and distributed in person by Apple Education Leadership Executives.
The custom die-cut sticker measures approximately 4.5 x 3 inches.

This magnet features the #AppleTeacher logotype (in a Medium weight of Apple’s San Francisco corporate font) printed on a custom shape metal background. The text is white and printed on a black background.
According to Apple’s website:
“Apple Teacher is a free professional learning program designed to support and celebrate educators using Apple products for teaching and learning. As an educator you can build skills on iPad and Mac that directly apply to activities with your students, earn recognition for the new things you learn, and be rewarded for the great work you do every day.”
A strong bar magnet is attached to the back of the printed metal, and a rectangular piece of steel allows the magnet to securely fasten to fabric or other materials.
The magnet is 55 mm wide x 8 mm tall and 2 mm thick. The magnet adds another 2 mm to the overall thickness of the item. The metal backing measures 12 mm x 38 mm.
The @AppleEDU Twitter account was started in January 2012 and as of 2023 has one million followers. Its description reads:
“Spark new ideas, create more aha moments, and teach in ways you’ve always imagined. Follow @AppleEDU for tips, updates, and inspiration.”
This set of vinyl stickers is printed with @AppleEdu in Apple’s San Francisco font in a variety of colors—red, orange, green, blue, hot pink, and black. Oddly, the Twitter account name is @AppleEDU (with EDU in caps), but the stickers use the “CamelCase” convention from the 1990s—an odd inconsistency given the usual fussiness of the Education Marketing team.
These stickers were available at technology conferences for attendees who visited Apple’s dedicated area. At the EdTech conference I attended, Apple had a part of a hallway and a dedicated conference room where various sessions and activities were offered where attendees could learn about Apple’s programs and offerings for schools.
Each sticker sheet measures 4 x 1.25 inches. Removed from the backing, the custom-die-cut sticker measures approximately 3.5 x 0.625 inches.

Apple’s Diversity web page references the “Black@Apple” group under one of many features on this page. Information can be found by clicking the feature block “Community is the core of our culture.” Part of the feature reads:
“In the last year, we’ve grown our global communities more than 50 percent, including expansions in Apple Store locations and across all regions. More than 55,000 Apple employees belong to groups like Accessibility@Apple, AsianPacific@Apple, Beacon@Apple, Black@Apple, Familia@Apple, Indigenous@Apple, Pride@Apple, SouthAsian@Apple, Veterans@Apple, Women@Apple, and more.”
Employees are featured on another related page by following the link “Learn more about Apple DNAs >.” This link leads to the “Careers at Apple” website with the headline “I belong@Apple” where scrolling down the page introduces Apple employees who are identified as being part of various communities within Apple. These communities are referred to as “Diversity Network Associations.”
One feature identified Georgiana, an Apple employee part of Black@Apple—wearing this same T-shirt—and telling her story about some of the differences made by the Black@Apple Diversity Network Association:
“For years, different Black@Apple chapters had been doing their own smaller Juneteenth celebrations. Then, after our 2018 DNA Summit, we met with Apple leadership to share ideas for a more unified approach. Just a few weeks later, we saw one of those ideas come to life in time to celebrate… Juneteenth officially appeared in Calendar as a U.S. holiday—not just for Apple people, but for everyone…”
